Re: Botox treatment for migraines

[Guest guest]

I had some botox for Migraines and agree that the drs don't consider the

ramifications of knocking out one set of muscles and what that will do to the

entirety of the body afterward.

About a week after the botox treatment, which included areas in my neck and

upper back as well as my forehead, I would have about a week long migraine but

then the migraines seem to be gone for a couple of weeks.

The tremendous pain I experienced afterward just wasn't worth it for me to

continue with this treatment, although the wrinkles on my forehead completely

disappeared and that looked quite nice.

I also had insurance reject paying for it so that was another problem. If it had

worked i may have continued but to have to pay hundreds of dollars and not have

it really work well didn't make sense.

I found that taking verapamil was far better but again there is always something

unexpected that occurs and that was I coudn't tolerate the low blood pressure

and dizziness from the verapamil so now I take it only once a week.

I still have migraines but they aren't as severe as before. The pain that really

gets to me now is undiagnosed, feels internal, and started just recently.
